Now now Nettie, you know our customs officials here won't let you in the country unless you eat vegemite. Paddlepops just don't cut it.

You know I tried - even paid more money ordering it overseas from an Australian company to give it a far chance. I think you just have to be brought up with the stuff. A friend of mine visited his daughter in Sydney last year and never had to eat vegimite. You are one tough people over there, not sure if I could make it there.

Once upon a time, a little bee was cheerily flying home. She was very excited, because she had discovered she could carry cow dung in her sacks just as well as pollen. After many such trips, lo and behold, her hive had filled up with a black tarry substance in the cells where the honey used to be stored. The little bee called this "vegemite". None of her sisters, however, like this new form of food. One by one, out the door they marched, until they were all bearding. In the rain. At night.
